Gaby Hoffmann Expecting First Child

Gaby Hoffmann, 32, is expecting her first child with her longtime boyfriend, cinematographer Chris Dapkins, her rep confirms.

“Everybody is happy and healthy,” the rep tells PEOPLE.

Hoffmann — who gained prominence as a child in classic movies such as Field of Dreams and Sleepless in Seattle — showed off a sizable baby bump at a screening of her new film Obvious Child in Los Angeles Wednesday night.

The Girls star — whose character is also expecting — was overheard swapping parenting advice with fellow mommy Busy Philipps at the event.
“Gaby was beaming from ear to ear and kept rubbing her belly,” says an onlooker. “They were chatting and looking over baby pics.”

In Obvious Child, Hoffmann plays the tough-minded feminist roommate of an aspiring comedian, who gets dumped by her boyfriend, loses her job and finds herself pregnant just in time for Valentine’s Day.

The actress isn’t the only former Now and Then star to be expecting — her costar Christina Ricciconfirmed her pregnancy in May.

I can’t believe that’s the grown-up woman of the same cute little girl from Field of Dreams and Sleepless in Seattle. Wowza. Anyway, congrats on the baby and good luck.

Woohaaa… She is more like 50 than 32 and eh, she isn’t the most pleasant to look at. Yikes!

Yikes. I’m know I’m being harsh, but she is not a good-looking adult.

Wasn’t she also the cutie patootie in Uncle Buck? She looks so different! Congrats to her!

Comments criticizing her looks are very rude and uncalled for. She’s a lovely person. Would you rather she gets loads of cosmetic surgery and look those hideous plastic people? Good for her for embracing herself as she is and not giving into harsh comments about something so superficial as physical appearance.

Is she a victim of something? She looks more like 52 than 32! Seriously, what happened to her? Why does she look like that? She used to be such a cute little girl and now it looks like life has been real hard on her. :0

To JHL, MM, Lezbhonest, gemmag, susan … how about a simple “congratulations, I hope it goes well”? You people are really nasty and are part of today’s problem of bashing women because they don’t live up to your standards–whatever they are. SHAME. ON. YOU.

“Now she’s pregnant and then she’ll have a baby!”
yes, People, that is the correct order.

Penny

I went on wireimage to look at other pictures from the event to see if maybe People just picked a bad image, unfortunately this was one of the better ones of her. I applaud her for going natural to a public event though! Good luck with the pregnancy! (really hard to believe she is the same girl from Now & Then!)

Lala

I don’t think the comments regarding her looks, aren’t so wrong. The first time I saw the photo, my first thought was, “That’s Gaby Hoffman?! She used to be so cute!” It’s a natural reaction/response, when someone looks so much different than they used to.

She would do better with a different hairstyle — and her nose looks so different.

Mommy
on June 6th, 2014

Wow. She hasn’t aged well at all. She’s pretty masculine looking

Amelia

I can’t believe all the cruel comments. No wonder the world, as a male dominated society, believe it is acceptable to judge women on their looks, pay them less, rape, and treat us like second class citizens. Words carry amazing power, so you should try to be supportive and uplifting. (Or in other words if you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all.)

This is obviously a bad angle in the picture. She did not look that old in the last season of girls. I wouldn’t have thought she was as old as 32 in that show.

I just googled her because I wanted to say it’s just an unflattering photo of her, but uhhhh yeah that’s what she looks like.

Really?! What gives you the power to criticize someones looks from the anonymity of a computer screen? If you can’t or wouldn’t say it to a persons face, you’ve no business doing it on a keyboard. I’m sure for many of you, your Mother’s would be very dismayed at your choice of words and criticism of others. Cowardly acts of vile language.

To be honest, I think this is just a bad picture – her hair and makeup are not flattering. If styled differently, I’m sure that Gaby would be lovely.

kim
on June 6th, 2014

Congrats to her! I don’t think she is unattractive. Minimal make up and untouched eye brows in a world of caked on make up and perfect eyebrows makes one really stand out, not neccessarily in a good way. I’ve seen pictures of her where she looks pretty, i think this is a bad angle and the color of that dress does nothing for her skin tone.

Michelle

Btw in no way making fun of her..just remembered her as the cute little girl in uncle buck. Good actress too.

Sunny

She doesn’t look older than 32. She looks like a woman who doesn’t do her eyebrows or wear makeup.

I have not heard of this woman. I refuse to spend extra money to watch that channel. But, this is a bad picture of her for sure. I looked her up on IMDB and she is better looking then this, and looks 32 their. I wish her congratulations anyway, and good luck!

Where’s the father? Why do all these celebrities think it’s ok to have babies out of wedlock? And why does society worship those people? Gays can get married these days so there is no reason why you can’t marry and give your kids legetimacy. We are so permissive as a society that we just accept this as norm. And we question why this is society is f**k*d up. ..Like Jessica Simpson..such a good Christian..has two ba*&^%d children and still can’t find the time to get married to her fiance???? Incrediable. Celebrities disgust me!

I just looked at photos of her on google and oh dear, there is a photo of her with huge hairy arm pits, so its no wonder that her appearance is completely natural, no makeup and bushy brows. She would look so much more youthful with lightened and shaped eyebrows, and a longer hair style and some makeup!

Natalie

unfortunately that happens way too often. lots of people are very cute as children but when they grow up, not so much. Ron Howard comes to mind.

Gaby Hoffmann is beyond cool. If only these stupid, judgmental, mean-spirited commenters were even half as intelligent, interesting, and talented as she was… well, the world (and internet) would be a much better place. Congrats to her on her baby news!

Melanie
on June 6th, 2014

Congrats to her! Was definitely surprised to see that she’s only 32 (I thought it was a typo at first!), though I think her eyebrows and sparse makeup contribute to that. Most folks who walk a red carpet are much more made-up, and that’s what we’re accustomed to seeing, but I guess she prefers a more natural look. Was also wondering about her relationship status, as the article doesn’t mention anything, but maybe she’s just private.

I loved “Now and Then” – Congrats to her!I I think it’s just a horribly unflattering picture. Hopefully her rep can find a better one and update it to People.

@cm.. Learn how to spell correctly before being judgemental. “Legitimacy”.. “incredible”.. use spell check. While your comments on babies being born out of wedlock are ridiculous, rude, and vile.. you could, at the very least, try to appear more educated than you apparently are.

And with the divorce rate of straight people as high as it is, being married or unmarried truly has no effect on whether you’ll be a good parent or not.. or if you are destroying the country or not. I, for one, believe it is the evil spewings of close-minded bigots who are destroying our world.

Having children out of wedlock is inappropriate. More so when you are in the public eye. Attention Rachel Bilson! And, oh yeah, being a “fiancé” is NOT = to being married.

I remember her as a child actress an remember her being cute too. I usually don’t comment on someone’s looks negatively but with this picture I’m shocked! What happened to her? She looks incredibly old an it looks like she never really grew into her looks as a woman. She did not transition well an is rather frightening to me. She seriously looks way older than 32, has bad teeth an could use a brow wax. However, a child is a blessing so congrats to them both!

This can’t be the best photo of this woman. She was a beautiful child. And she looks really happy. You people on here should really be ashamed of yourselves. It is really easy to make your comments without any of us seeing you. Bet, most of you aren’t winning any beauty pageants. These comments are such a shame.

We talk so much about wanting to see stories about better celebrities. Well here is one. She was a child star that wasn’t in and out of jail or worse and she is expecting her first child at age 32. What more do you people want! Geesh. You get Kardashians 24/7 because most of you are just a shallow as they appear to be. Ugggh.

Hope she has a wonderful pregnancy.

Oh my!! The young girl from Uncle Buck! Yikes!! Hardly recognized her!! 32?! EEEkkk NOT aging well at all!

Why doesn’t this site approve comments and remove those that are made just to attack? No one’s looks, body size, name, etc should be picked apart by the general public. To me it seems like this site is here for a bunch of very unhappy, insecure and lifeless women to try and make themselves feel better by tearing down others. It’s sad and pathetic, and really makes one hope that Karma does attack…

Gaby is a young, beautiful, and elegant woman. Unfortunatley, that short hair cut is very unbecoming on her, most likely a desperate result of pregnancy discomfort, Lol.
